Boi-Ngo (stylized as BOI-NGO) is the sixth studio album by American new wave band Oingo Boingo, released in 1987 by MCA Records.

Production

Boi-Ngo was the third Oingo Boingo album to be self-produced by Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek (including So-Lo). The tracks "Pain", "We Close Our Eyes" and "Not My Slave" were released as singles. Several other songs, "Remember My Name," "Inside", "Mama" and "Find You", were recorded for the album but not included. An earlier song, "Cinderella Undercover", first performed in 1981, was also recorded but cut from release. "Mama" saw a limited release on a 7-inch vinyl box set edition of Boi-Ngo as the album's final track. New recordings of both "Cinderella Undercover" and "Mama" were subsequently featured on the "live in the studio" album Boingo Alive in 1988. The song "Happy" was also recorded in the album sessions for release on the Summer School soundtrack, under Danny Elfman's name.

Reissue

In 2022, Rubellan Remasters issued a remastered version of Boi-Ngo on both colored vinyl and CD, the latter as an expanded edition with six bonus tracks.
